In 6 Week Guitar Volume 1, we taught you the Twist and Shout guitar riff as part of your fretting development.

Well, now we are going to complete this by showing the chords and rhythm which you can play over the backing track and have a great practice session by playing either the lead or rhythm part. A, D and E are the chords used for this riff

The actual rhythm has 3 distinct (not-syncopated), elements to it, but knowing the lead riff should really help you master this.

Oh – and if you like to see the down/up stroke pattern… here it is. D D D U D U – U D U D U D U
